    Thank you, Rob Pike, for posting this.

    I am in a different field, and of little importance in that field, so it is preposterous of me to comment here, forgive me. But I wish to express how much energy I gain from reading your post.

    The wave of inauthenticity is all-encompassing. I spent some four decades as a university teacher, with immense pride, only to see the very notion of teaching and education destroyed before my eyes. My friends in other professions experience the same.

    I still hope for reversal.

    Your message is one of sadness and loss, but is also a sign of resistance. As one of the true pathbreakers and arbiters of good taste in your field and beyond, your voice gives strength to others who try to hold on to notions of authenticity, simplicity, elegance, humility.

    We pray these professional values will survive the long winter we are currently experiencing.

  2. "Breathing Has Worst ROI" — Hibernation Fans Now Endangered

    Youth lying still to cut food costs got classified as an endangered species.

  3. Does the mammalian #circadian clock manage to temperature-compensate during deep #hypothermia? This study shows that mice maintain circadian rhythms during a #hibernation -like hypothermic state, and that this is supported by systemic regulatory mechanisms @PLOSBiology plos.io/4tW1pJt

  4. @tth @cpu : Ceci dit, il faut quand même reconnaitre que @tetalab, notre bien-aimé community-manager, ne semble pas vraiment sorti de son #hibernation. Mais le #tetalab vous donne rendez-vous samedi 28 mars pour découvrir en exclusivité mondiale la #Tetanoise, l'ultime machine à déchirer les tympans, dont nous attendons avec impatience la publication du dossier technique.

  5. ❄️ In winter forests, bears vanish into quiet dens while hearts slow and bodies wait. What unfolds inside that long stillness?

    Curious how a bear’s muscle, bone, and life endure months of near silence?

    A season of stillness, a quiet lesson in resilience.

    Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

    # 287

    Research suggests that around one in five #bumblebee queens perish during winter #hibernation.
    Heavier queens, having greater reserves of fat and glycogen, are more likely to survive than their lighter counterparts.

    Basic bee facts every day at 3pm.

    # 286

    Before entering hibernation in the autumn #bumblebee queens build up reserves of fat and glycogen in their bodies.
    These queens will lose up to 80% of their fat reserves during #hibernation over the winter period.

  8. Blanket fort report:
    Short-notice snow storm was perfect for nesting all day. Made crockpot mashed potatoes, baked oatcakes, carved up a rotisserie chicken, and marinated cucumbers. Also made raspberry jello with extra gelatin because I am a child and it makes me happy.
    Gonna feast tonight.

    And because I could work in front of the fireplace, I put together merch for the #Capricon46 website with new art from the designer. Wanna see?

  9. @francismizio @fatalerrors : il n'a toujours pas réagi, il doit être en #hibernation, comme tout le reste du #tetalab :trollface:

  11. #hibernation sites include inside tree hollows, under bark, beneath fallen #leaves, #compost heaps and even in plant pots - so be vigilant in your #garden!

    In the UK and Ireland we are now increasingly seeing ‘winter active’ #bumblebees specifically Buff-tailed bumbles.

  12. #hibernation (some for as long as 9 months!). They will dig their own hibernaculum usually in loose well drained soil on a north-facing bank (banks are less likely to flood and north-facing means that they are less likely to emerge too early due to unseasonable sunny…

  13. In analysing #rodent fossils, scientists funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation have come up with a novel hypothesis: #hibernation was a survival strategy 34 million years ago.

  14. I've got 7.5 work days left before I'm on leave for Christmas and I'm just about ready to hibernate. It's cold, dark and tired at this time of year and I would like to sleep through it. #WinterSucks #Hibernation #HavingAWhinge

  15. Lots of #animals hibernate. #Hedgehogs hunker down, #dormice curl up in a ball, and #bats take to their roosts. #Hibernation occurs when animals enter a state of almost total inactivity during the winter months.
    Some animals rouse themselves from hibernation for a quick snack and a toilet break, before returning to their bed. This helps the animals to keep their strength up and get rid of any waste that would otherwise soil their ‘bed’.

  18. It’s Getting Chilly

    As the weather begins to get cooler and the leaves on the trees begin to change, I start to settle in to early-hibernation mode. It isn’t noticeably different from my usual homebody persona, but it comes with sweaters.

  19. 🚀 Flash #news for developers: #CocoaPods will enter #hibernation in a mere two years! 😴 Don't panic, there's still plenty of time to finish that app you promised back in 2015. Meanwhile, let the riveting #debate over #security and "readonly" status continue to captivate absolutely no one. 🎉

  21. Good morning 🥭 8am@JP
    あさ8時 🥭 おはようございます

    The #tortoises are very happy because a #plantain has grown at the base of the mango sapling ✨🥬🐢🐢🐢
    #Hibernation is still to come!

    Have a good day🎄

     
    マンゴーの苗木の根本に #オオバコ が生えたので、#亀ちゃんず は大喜び✨🥬🐢🐢🐢

  22. #Dormancy can be classified into 2 main types: daily torpor (lasting less than 24 hours) and #hibernation (lasting longer than that, up to multiple months).

    To this day, we do not know if:

    ❓ these two types represent evolutionarily discrete states, or if they are parts of a continuum.

    ❓ dormancy capabilities can be accurately predicted from species' physiological traits or #ecological strategies.

    ❓ hibernation evolved once in #mammals (and #birds) or multiple times independently. 2/4

    あさ8時 🐢🐢🐢 おはようございます

    It's #hibernation season, but the warmth has woken up the Tortoises for #breakfast. 🥬

    However, only one, Kumagoro, appears to be dozing off. After all, being left behind is cold!

    Wishing you a Happiness day🤗

     
    #冬眠 時期ですが暖かいから起き出して、亀ちゃんずは #朝食 中です🥬

    でも1匹だけ、熊五郎さんはこっくりこっくり眠そうです、置いてきぼりは寒いですもんね!

    幸せな一日でありますように🤗

  24. Oh wow ! cette famille a des box turtles et ces animaux hibernent, donc ils les aident à hiberner en les enterrant dans un coin du jardin pour 5 mois 😳

    ça fait 25 ans qu'ils font ça et les animaux ne s'en portent que mieux, mais c'est à la fois très intéressant et un peu malaisant, ça réveille certains cauchemars quelque part.

    fascinant monde des reptiles en tout cas !

  25. Spent 2 days trying to figure out why #hibernation didn't work with my #swapfile.
    Note to self: when the swap space is on #btrfs, use `btrfs inspect-internal map-swapfile -r /path/to/swapfile` instead of filefrag to get the resume_offset!!!

    Switchable neural components in turtles. Perhaps not surprising but certainly extraordinary! The source paper:

    "Responses of the in vitro turtle brain to visual and auditory stimuli during severe hypoxia", Ariel et al. 2023 doi.org/10.1242/jeb.244687

    "North American pond turtles (Emydidae) are renowned for their ability to survive extreme hypoxia and anoxia, which enables several species to overwinter in ice-locked, anoxic freshwater ponds and bogs for months."

    These qualities make turtles fantastic laboratory animals for neuroscience research:
